Similarly, we can't plant enough trees to offset our total carbon emission because we've released SOOO much carbon that was previously just buried underground as oil. We would need to plant more trees than we have ever seen.

This is very similar to the Eisenhower Matrix except you swapped "urgent" for "actionable". Not to discredit, I just think it’s an interesting difference. Seems like a startup mentality to me. I think declaring someth

This reminds me of the "power of two choices" in load balancing [1] and is summed up by this quote: > The solution lies in the “power of two choices” load‑balancing algorithm. Instead of making the absolute best choice using in

I think both sides are true. On the one hand, dysfunction exists in all organizations. On the other hand, it takes effort to maintain a high functioning organization and most people don’t want to put in the real hard work. Not only are m

Seems more like the standard used to measure emissions is inadequate. > Past monitoring has failed to capture the full scope of organic carbon pollution because it wasn’t looking at a diverse enough range of molecular sizes often associa

Isn’t energy independence more about other countries exports? From the perspective of Germany, their reliance on Russian oil caused a high spike in cost of energy during the current Ukraine invasion. For the US, we don’t really want to be

I disagree because the context here is that they're a streamer. It sounds like there were two goals with the acoustic treatment: (1) to improve sound quality from within the closet which I take to mean echos and reverb and (2) to avoi

I can’t find it anymore, but there was someone who had some home automation where they could open or close their garage door from the internet. However it would occasionally open automatically. Eventually they realized it happens whenever

There are plenty of collisions where a car collides with something at slow speeds like in a parking lot or at an intersection. In these collisions, it’s preferable for the car to “give” a little bit and not just crush someone’s kneecaps.

I think they mean freight trucks and Ubers would just park in the bike lane. Now Ubers have to drop people off in the street and the freights have to use the loading zones which might be halfway down the block. I also feel like I mistook t

By "moving parking to one side of the street", do you mean get rid of half of the parking spots? I'm having trouble visualizing this part, but it sounds like you want the road layout to be (from left to right) sidewalk, doub

As a resident of this neighborhood and a user of the bike lane, I think these articles are mostly propaganda. Every article I read interviews like 1 or 2 people. I have a feeling most bicyclists and most businesses are totally okay with t

This comment reads like it was written by someone who has never biked, let alone in SF, and especially on this bike path. This is a bike highway and you can consistently be faster than the cars in path by up to 2x the speed during rush hour

I think url design is largely unimportant for a blog because people don’t need to form those URLs the same way they would for some query frontend. The most complicated thing you might want to support is anchors/fragments. There are ot

I think a good way of looking at the quality of their tests is how they categorize their tests, which focuses on the different types of problems they want to solve: power loss, concurrency, API issues, logic, etc. https://www.sq

Sounds a lot like fuzzing, which is a really good way to find really esoteric bugs against a spec! I did something like this in college when I was implementing a compiler and it caught a lot of really weird bugs in a lot of peoples codes.

I think the key is to focus and prioritize whatever you want or need in life. I actually find a lot of the content on HN to be uninteresting and maybe click on one or two links a week. I’ve also landed on this state after an 8 year career
